John:

In addition to the standard MacStumbler http://www.macstumbler.com/ you might also try AP Grapher http://www.chimoosoft.com/apgrapher.html

But if it's just something that's started occurring recently, perhaps either something has changed with your computer or in the environment (additional noise from new access points?).

Also, KisMAC(a passive sniffer) now works with Airport Extreme http://www.binaervarianz.de/projekte/programmieren/kismac/ but it's a bit unstable and requires a full reboot after use to reset the Airport card.

Best,
jeff

Subject: [BAWUG] Connection but no connection

Symptom: Frequently visible connection in AirPort menu (2 to 4 bars)
but no connection -- either no DNS (and numerical IPs work), or more
often, there's no apparent connection, or at least pings to anywhere
(even numerical IPs) return "No route to host". This has happened at
several spots in the last few days (e.g. in SF, Muddy's -- a
zrnetservice, and several of the signals at 3rd & Folsom). Restarting
programs, AirPort, or even the whole computer doesn't help.

Any advice? I'm not afraid of the command line, so if there's nifty
utilities that will help me track down what's going on, i'm game.

Life,
John
